[quote=Anonymous]I've seen posts like this from time to time from women with in-laws who live in another country. It isn't just the normal "boundaries" issue. The in laws' trip isn't really financially worth it for a weekend. On the other hand, you have a right to your privacy and so forth. It seems to me the answer here might be for you to hire a nanny and present the nanny to them as their "helper." Make sure nanny understands that she is truly in charge in reality. You need to hire someone who can pull this off and has a bit of flexibility. My first nanny was very good at dealing with my mother, who called constantly when #1 was an infant with "orders" for her care. She had a sense of humor and knew she was in charge but could defer.[/quote]
